Responsive Reading from Psalm 23
Leader: The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.
People: He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters.
Leader: He restores my soul.
People: He leads in paths of righteousness for his name sake.
Leader: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
All: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Heavenly Father,

We gather today because we know all this yet need to be reminded.
Thank you in Jesus’ name. Amen

*Commitment Hymn                 His Name is Wonderful                    UMH #174
His name is wonderful,
His name is wonderful,
His name is wonderful,
Jesus my Lord.

He is the mighty King,
Master of everything;
His name is wonderful,
Jesus, my Lord.

He’s the great Shepherd,
the Rock of all ages,
Almighty God is he;

Bow down before him,
Love and adore him,
His name is wonderful,
Jesus, my Lord.

Unison Benediction
May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.
